(Norwell, MA). Abigail Adams Real Estate School is now open to enrollment of students for pre-licensing and continuing education classes at their Norwell, Quincy, and Marshfield locations. Classes commence Monday, January 5, 2009.

School director and owner, Jayne Magown, is an experienced broker licensed since 1979. She earned her Commonwealth of Massachusetts Instructors license in 2007. She is a member of the Plymouth and South Shore Association of Realtors where she serves on the Board of Directors and as Chair of Education to its 2480 members.

"After hearing so many stories from new licensees regarding the impersonal nature of listening to tapes or sitting in a room with 30 students, I immediately recognized a need for small classroom live instruction," said Director Jayne Magown. "Classes will be kept small in order to enhance the learning experience. With the failure rate now exceeding 50% on the State exam, smaller classes should provide the learning platform for many more to pass."

For more information on classes, please call 781.837.2832 or email: abigailadamsRES@aol.com.

Home sales have shown healthy increase in the past few months. According to the National Association of Realtors, existing home sales rose 3.1 percent from June to July, which is the third monthly sales increase this year. The rise was unexpected and had been forecasted to rise only 1.6 percent according to economists. This rise in home sales has provided hope that the bottom may be near and the toughest of times are now behind us.

Although the median price for a home continues to fall, there are signs that buyers are gaining confidence that the market is stabilizing. There are many buyers shopping for a home and hoping to take advantage of current "deals" on the market. The number of unsold homes on the market can be overwhelming for a buyer, which is why it is imperative to price your home correctly and truly market your home to stand out among the competition. Mortgage companies have tightened their belts as well, scrutinizing each loan in greater detail than in years past. Rising unemployment rates may still keep some buyers away but overall the market is looking up.
